Comverse Finalizes Acquisition of Netcentrex

Just rec'd a nice, heartfelt email from Brian Mahoney, VP Marketing at Netcentrex, thanking all his media and analyst "friends" for helping promote Netcentrex as an industry leader -- and for helping to position the company for the sale to Comverse that just concluded. The text of the message follows:

Dear friends:
